Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are contracts created by couples who want to determine how their assets will be divided if they ever get divorced. Prenuptial agreements are executed before marriage and postnuptial agreements are executed after marriage. Due to the complexity of legal issues involved in drafting these types of agreements, each person should have their own qualified attorney represent them prior to signing the contract. Having an experienced divorce attorney work with you during this process also ensures that any prenuptial or postnuptial agreements are legally valid and won’t adversely affect you.

PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS AND POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

When couples do not have prenuptial agreements or postnuptial agreements in place, they are subject to Nebraska laws in terms of how their personal assets are allocated and who will receive property accumulated during the marriage. Some couples prefer to take the power into their own hands and want to be the ones who decide what happens to their assets in case a divorce happens. Usually, when the individuals each have an experienced attorney looking out for their interests, they are able to reach an agreement that is beneficial and fair to both people.

TOPICS COVERED IN PRENUPTIAL AND POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

The information included in prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can cover a wide range of topics and explicitly state the intent of both spouses. Any provisions in the contract that violate Nebraska laws or public policy will not be considered valid and cannot be legally executed. Prenuptial and postnuptial often cover some of the following topics:

Each spouse’s property rights

Each spouse’s debt obligations

How property will be divided or distributed if a divorce occurs or if either spouse dies

Todd is an incredible attorney. I’m not sure I will ever be able to thank him enough for what he has done for my daughter and I through and even after my divorce. He explains everything throughout the process and is a truly genuine person. I have already recommend him to friends and family and continue to recommend him to anyone that needs a great family attorney.

I have known of Dave and his success in family law for many years. No doubt that he has assembled the best team to bring top notch legal help to the metro. Decades of successful experience is what you need when trying to navigate such a tumultuous time in life. Nobody wants to go through a divorce, but it pays to have someone you can trust looking out for you and your interests.

I would highly recommend Chris Pomerleau for a family lawyer. He was very detailed on explaining every step of the way. He always kept me informed. There are no words that can describe what it was like to find a lawyer that took my best interest in all he did. Chris is not my first lawyer and I would use him again if needed. The best family lawyer out there.

Greg Lake is an attorney I would recommend without hesitation to anyone facing a divorce case. He really listens to his clients, which I think is one of the most important things in a lawyer, and he stays focused on what is really important in your case. Highly recommended!

I was fortunate enough to have Megan Spomer take my case in the pursuit of the custody of my daughter. I was lost, confused, and didn’t know where to start. I thought all was lost… till I meet with Megan. She picked me up, gave me support, and confidence. Within months I had full custody of my daughter and without Megan it would have never been possible I thank you I praise you Megan Spomer. If your a man who does right by his children Megan is the attorney for you!!!
